The lecture captures various procedural models and the phases of software development, the principles of object-orientation in programming and software development, systemativ software testing, and quality assurance techniques.

In the corresponding lab, the concepts will be used in practice to develop a small application.

Contents in detail:

• Motivation: differences between programming and software engineering; factors for success with software projects
• Software process models
• Analysis Phase (terminology, especially requirements vs. specifications; deriving specifications from requirements and domain knowledge; decomposition of complex problems into smalles sub-problems; problem frames as a model for software development problems)
• Principles of object-orientation
• Architectural and design patterns
• Design by contract, correctness of the program
• Testing
